In my opinion this is the yardstick by which all Italian restaurants should be measured ! The restaurant has been here for a good number of years now and is still the best of the best. The atmosphere is warm, cosy and welcoming with italian music playing but not intrusively, candles always lit on the tables and a lovely atmosphere. The tables are nicely spaced so that even when they are busy you don't feel squashed in. The food is sublime with an excellent choice of dishes on the menu, as well as regular specials, and including english for those who don't eat italian. Meals are always well prepared and well presented. The choice of drinks is a little limited as they don't serve draught bitters or lagers, but they do have a good selection of wines and an italian lager. This restaurant has been our family favourite for many years and has hosted numerous celebrations from birthdays and engagements to anniversaries, being suitable for all ages and palates. The service is always efficient and friendly. My only criticism recently is that the prices, which have always been on the high side, have risen even higher and although you really do get value for money here, at current prices in the current economic climate, it does make you think twice about spending quite so much on a meal out. We will still eat here for special occasions but will probably go elsewhere for those inbetween more regular evenings out. read more
